When you do a safari in southern Africa you will encounter many animals. The big five, of course. But one of the animals that has stayed with me the most is this pied kingfisher. It was sitting on a concrete post of a bridge looking at the water. The bird was clearly very focused and did not allow itself to be distracted. With the jeep, we drove right past him and I was able to get this beautiful close-up of him. The pied kingfisher is found throughout Africa and Asia and very occasionally flies over to Europe. In southern Africa, we saw it a few times. It is quite clearly a kingfisher, after its colouring it looks exactly like the Dutch kingfisher. Its behaviour and sound are also typical. With this work, you bring nature inside and with the fresh green colour it brings a lot of life into your home.
